The pst command is a wrapper tool around 38 programming languages and their
package managers.
The current languages are: Ada, Bash, C++, C#, Clojure, CoffeeScript, Common Lisp, Crystal, D, Dart, Deno, Elixir, Erlang, Fortran, Go, Groovy, Guile, Haskell, Haxe, Java, Julia, Lua, Nim, Node.js, Objective C, OCaml, Octave, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Racket, Raku, Ruby, Rust, Scala, Swift, TypeScript.
The pst command provides a consistent API that uses the same basic commands,
regardless of the target language.
It provides a working environment to explore, code, test and publish software in any of the languages, or many of them at the same time.
Installing PST is extremely simple:
# Clone the PST Git repository:
git clone git@github.com:ingydotnet/pst /path/to/pst
# Run this command and/or add it to your shell rc file:
source /path/to/pst/.rc
# Start using PST:
pst --help
PST uses Docker to package all the languages (their compilers, runtimes, tools, etc) so that you don't need to install anything except these ubiquitous tools that you very likely have installed on your computer already:
- Docker
- Bash
- Git
